From Hakim: enjoyed today’s post
Just one issue.
When you say Pogba is one of a group of young black players who asked for too much, don’t you think you’re painting a certain group of players in a negative light?
Please correct me if I’m wrong.
As dominant as the Old Lady have been in Serie A, they have not made the semi-final of the CL in 13 years.
I know they have been through a lot, but they are a massive European name.
Don’t fancy them to keep a clean sheet tonight.
A 1-1 or a 2-1 lead with the second leg in Dortmund? It may not be enough.
Marco Reus has the playmaking ability of Pires and the bottle of Ljungberg.
Myles says:
I’m just reporting the considered view Sir Alex took, Hakim.
He didn’t decide to remove that group of players on a whim.
Managers can’t babysit an individual for five or ten years, however gifted.
I was told from a source at West Ham that Ravel’s parents were both junkies. That’s not a good start in life.
I don’t know where I’d be now if my Mum & Dad had been heroin addicts.
